The Team
Through continued growth comes more demand for business insights and data used to make objective decisions. To support this need and help maintain operational efficiency, A&M has invested in growing its Business Intelligence Unit (BIU). The BIU creates and maintains scalable data pipelines, constructs analysis, delivers process improvement initiatives and builds visualization tools and applications. The unit is also focused on embedding AI into its own ways of working to drive efficiency, and on enabling the business to apply AI to the data assets the team provides. All with the goal of supporting the firm to realize operational efficiencies identified through analysis. The BIU operates across multiple geographies and practice areas, supporting decision-making for senior stakeholders across the firm. The Insight Optimisation team is responsible for the ongoing health, evolution, and optimization of the firm's core reporting products. The team manages report consistency, user experience, backend data model improvements, documentation, troubleshooting, and enhancement requests. The team mission is to provide a seamless user experience to the business whilst reducing long-term operational overhead through prioritising consistency, consolidation, and a focus on action-driven insights.
